The SmackDown Superstar took to social media today to reflect on her journey and posted an emotional message regarding her WWE tryout, tweeting out:
'From then to now…. My 1st tryout…I had no idea how to take a bump, I didn't even know what a 'bump' was let alone what a 'promo' was… I was so nervous you can hear the quiver in my voice. I had no idea what I was doing. The only thing I knew how to do was be me, because there is only ONE ME and that was my way to stand out. Shoutout to Mark Henry.
'So I wore my favorite rose outfit I made for a crossfit competition and showed that I may not come from this business, I may not know much but I will work my ass off and I will love and respect this business if I was given a chance. At 1st I always felt like I was stealing someone else's dream so I threw myself whole heartedly into this.
'I dealt with imposter syndrome for A LONG time. I always felt like I had something to prove. Now… I know exactly who I am. I know how much hard work I put in, I know my worth NO MATTER WHAT, and I know everything I've gotten and haven't gotten yet IS MINE. Dream big. Do things you didn't even think were meant for you. You never know. It might change your life and others along the way. #ESTofWWE #wrESTleMania41,' Bianca Belair said in a post.

Triplemania showed path for WWE to unlock Dominik Mysterio's limitless potential
You can't help but watch Dominik Mysterio and wonder: When and how is WWE going to turn him babyface? It can't come soon enough. The process may have already begun — and if it hasn't, it needs to, with AAA being the easy first domino to do so. WWE could find itself in a bind there if it isn't willing to begin fully embracing Mysterio's growing popularity. The crowd in Mexico City was ready for anyone but current Mega champion El Hijo del Vikingo to leave with the title at Triplemania XXXIII on Saturday.

WWE Reportedly Planning Big Match For Cody Rhodes
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. WWE is reportedly planning two WrestleMania-caliber main events for its new WrestlePalooza premium live event on September 20th. According to a new report from PWInsider, the planned top matches for the show feature four of the company's most prominent stars. The event, which will take place in Indianapolis, Indiana, is scheduled to run head-to-head with AEW's All Out pay-per-view. This stacked card appears to be WWE's opening salvo in a new night of competition. Two Blockbuster Main Events Planned The word making the rounds backstage at this past Monday's Raw was that the two planned headline matches for WrestlePalooza are John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar, and Cody Rhodes defending the Undisputed WWE Championship against Drew McIntyre. As is always the case with WWE, the lineup remains fluid and is subject to change. If the card holds, it would make the inaugural WrestlePalooza one of the most significant premium live events of the year. The Final Chapter Of A Legendary Rivalry A match between John Cena and Brock Lesnar would be the epic final chapter in one of the most violent rivalries in modern WWE history. The feud was reignited at SummerSlam earlier this month when Lesnar, in a controversial return, brutally attacked Cena after his championship loss. The match is a key part of Cena's ongoing 2025 farewell tour. Cody Rhodes looks on during the WWE Royal Rumble at Alamodome on January 28, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. Cody Rhodes looks on during the WWE Royal Rumble at Alamodome on January 28, 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. Alex Bierens de Haan Their history includes a brutal classic at Extreme Rules in 2012 and an infamous, one-sided demolition at SummerSlam in 2014. This bout would serve as the definitive rubber match between the two icons. More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match A New Challenger For The Champion The other planned main event would see the new Undisputed WWE Champion, Cody Rhodes, make his first premium live event title defense. His reported opponent is "The Scottish Warrior" Drew McIntyre. Rhodes won the championship from Cena at SummerSlam in a triumphant moment, finishing his story for a second time. A first-time-ever championship clash with McIntyre, who has been on a ruthless tear as one of Raw's top heels, would be a formidable first challenge for the new champion. The planned card is a clear sign of WWE's aggressive strategy for the September 20th show. By scheduling two matches of this caliber directly opposite AEW's All Out, the company is forcing fans to make a choice in a way they have not had to in years.

WWE star Naomi announces pregnancy, relinquishes women's championship
WWE star Naomi relinquished the Women's World Championship on Monday as she announced she's pregnant with her first child. Naomi won the title when she cashed in her Money in the Bank contract during a match between Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley at Evolution. She then retained the title at SummerSlam, winning a triple-threat match that included Sky and Ripley. Last week, WWE said she wasn't cleared to compete in a title defense against Sky. It sparked speculation that Naomi could have been injured and may have to be out for a while. However, she appeared on the latest episode of "Monday Night Raw" and announced her personal news. She asked fans to view the videoboard. She and her real-life husband Jimmy Uso appeared on "What's Your Story? With Stephanie McMahon" and he announced they were expecting a child. "I'm pregnant and I'm having a baby," Naomi added. Back in the ring, Naomi was a bit emotional as the WWE fans cheered her on. She was a bit reluctant to relinquish the championship she fought so hard to win back. "I ain't handing you s---," she told RAW general manager Adam Pearce. "My hormones are jumping like a disco. This ain't the time nor place so I advise you to get the hell out of my face." Naomi said the women in the WWE locker room should be thanking Uso because without him they wouldn't have stood a chance of taking the title off of her. However, Naomi laid the championship in the middle of the ring and vacated the belt. "On the bright side, I guess the bloodline continues baby!" she added with her patented maniacal laugh. She vowed that she would come back for the title in "nine months and some change." "Even if I gotta come back breastfeeding with my baby in my arms, I'm coming back to pick up where I left off," she said.
